WORKER DESCRIPTIONS

ProRally is often defined as real cars, on real roads, going real fast, but it is more than that! It’s a family, a community of many dedicated people willing to work cooperatively together for many hours to put on this special events. ProRally involves competitors, service crews and volunteer workers.

RALLY COMMUNICATIONS - LICENSED HAM RADIO OPERATORS
The primary job is to provide a safety "net" for the whole rally. There are many tasks involved in this. A big responsibility is communications between stage start and stage finish and keeping track of Rally Officials in the forest. Also included in this specialty are "riders" who ride with the hams and keep logs of the rally cars into and out of each stage. Two separate Nets operate at STPR, with Control operators(and relief) needed for each to pinpoint incident. And, finally Packet operators are needed to move scores from out in the forest to the scoring team.

MEDICAL
Volunteers qualified to provide Basic Life Support services are at the Start of every Stage, and each official Spectator Area. Our official Rally Physician provides Advanced Life Support. There are ambulances at several locations and back-up support from Ambulance services in three counties. Car and medical kit necessary.

The largest number of workers at a ProRally are assigned to the stages. At STPR it takes over 360 volunteers to make the event happen. Almost 30% of those are stage workers, with a typical stage crew of 12-16 people. Experienced Stage Captains and Co-Captains coordinate the work of each group. Workers time cars in, count down the start and time the finish. They block all intersecting roads to prevent non-rally traffic from interacting with competing cars, They also manage the crowds at the official spectator areas. Course Marshals have the best opportunity to see competing cars at speed during the event. Most crews work two assignments, typically one stage and one spectator area, or the same stage used twice.
